RB Leipzig player sounds worried about Celtic already
Celtic impressed a lot of people with their most recent performance in the Champions League, as they earned themselves a point away from home by getting a goalless draw against Atalanta in Italy. Just for context, the scoreline was exactly the same when Premier League giants, Arsenal, faced the Serie A side last month.
So, Celtic certainly deserve the plaudits that they have been getting since last night. At the same time, there is also a recognition that they cannot play that defensive brand of football at home.
Celtic Park is the great equaliser that the Hoops have when up against top teams in the Champions League. In a couple of weeks, they will welcome RB Leipzig to Glasgow.
Peter Gulasci is a veteran of the game. And he sounds worried about the atmosphere at Celtic Park. As reported by Glasgow World, the RB Leipzig goalkeeper said:
"It won't be easy at Celtic. We know what the atmosphere is like there. It's difficult for an away team to survive there. But our goal is to get the three points in two weeks. We didn't get off to a good start. We had three difficult opponents, but if you look at the games, we could certainly have taken a few points."

Celtic faced RB Leipzig a few years back and on those occasions, it did not exactly work out for them. Both teams have undergone plenty of changes since then though. So, this will be a fresh contest for sure.
Celtic know that they have three winnable games, at least on paper, remaining on their Champions League schedule. Anything other than a defeat in the other two would have to count as a bonus.
The upcoming game against RB Leipzig falls in the latter category. It must be said that all things considered, and overlooking the result against Borussia Dortmund a few weeks ago, Celtic have actually done a decent job to have four points from their first three Champions League games this season. That is a better tally than Bayern Munich. But they cannot afford to rest on their laurels for even one second at this level. They must bring their A-game every time they take to the field.
